Ronan took in a deep breath and let out a sigh. That line had been fairly familiar as well. Many with bounties or trouble about them had claimed such a line, making the work a bit more irritating from time to time. Ronan was briefly intrigued by the thug whom had chosen a more, interesting an indirect first attack. If he had not forced himself to draw focus to the current battlefield he may have grown worried for the cleric but this specific moment there was no time to be sloppy.

As the thug thew the torch Ronan immediately and easily stepped diagonally back and to his left as to possibly grow closer to the portal exit. While in a defensive movement he would slash down his rapier from the left hand side down to the right to guide a blow away from himself and perhaps land one on the enemy if they were close which was doubtful. The rapier would aim to cut from the shoulder down to the opposing side of the waistline. Like the torch, the dagger would simply fly by and past Ronan although he was shaken up.
